Suppose that 71% of diners ask for a manager when they have a complaint, while 29% of diners ask for a manager when they have a question about the menu. It is known that 44% of those that had a complaint felt the manager satisfied their problem, whereas 72% of those that had a menu question felt satisfied. A randomly diner felt satisfied following a managerial interaction. What is the probability that they were a diner with a complaint?

At a certain large company, the floor manager reviewing inventory and production. She ultimately comes to the decision that a product should be continued if it sold 150,000 times over the previous year. In addition, the product is considered “popular” if it receives at least 100 mentions by the local press over the past year. An analyst is hired to help with the analysis. The analyst determines that the probability of sales exceeding 150,000 was 0.331, the probability of 100 or more mentions was 0.162, and the probability that a product both sold 150,000 items, and was also ‘popular’ is 0.064. What is the probability that a randomly selected product either sold the requisite 150,000 items, or that it is ‘popular’? Again, phrase your answers in terms of probability variables (e.g. P(X) = ..., P(Y)=... etc.) If we are told that an item has indeed reached the threshold of 100 mentions in the press, what is the probability of it selling 150,000 times?

Jenny works for a local brewing company. She and her team mates try to estimate the Hong Kong consumers’ preference on their beer brand compared to other imported ones. They performed a survey asking if the respondent prefers the company’s brand the most or not. Based on this survey result, they want to decide how much money the company needs to invest on brand promotions in the coming year. This is an important decision for the company, and the management wants to have the probability that the sample proportion p is +/- 3% from the actual proportion p to be very high (i.e., at least 99%). In this case, what is the desirable sample size n for the following two cases? Give the answer in the form of: at least ___ x100 samples. Case i. When the actual proportion is 50%. Case ii. When the actual proportion is 10%. Explain why the sample sizes required to achieve the same accuracy in the two cases are different.
A study showed that in 1990, 47% of all those involved in a fatal car crash wore seat belts. Of those in a fatal crash who wore seat belts, 46% were injured and 26% were killed. For those not wearing seat belts, the comparable figures were 43% and 51%, respectively. Find the probability that a randomly selected person who was unharmed in a fatal crash was not wearing a seat belt.

According to TMUSS Quarterly (Totally Made-Up Sports Statistics) April 2017, the probability that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will score a touchdown on their opening drive is 0.26. The probability that their defense will have 3 or more sacks in the game is 0.15. The probability that the Bucs will both score a touchdown on their opening drive and have 3 or more sacks in the game is 0.06.

Words that are more likely to be contained in a phishing scam are called flagged words. Typically, there is a 94% chance that a phishing scam contains flagged words. There is a 20% chance that regular email contains flagged words. A security company estimates that 4.9% of emails are phishing scams. An email just came through that contains a flagged word. What are the chances that it is a phishing scam? (Enter the probability as a decimal rounded to four decimal places.)
